1998 Mustang GT Problem #2
This is what happened..driving down the hwy. Check Engine Light starts flashing. I start to notice my car is hesitating. It has no pickup...when im sitting still and idling i feel like im in a jet. When i get up to speed i can still feel it hesitating. As I get close to home I lose almost all power that I have. I have no pickup and I hear a whislting coming from underneath the engine. I pull over and notice the hose that goes into the DPFE pooped off...I look under the car and the cat converter closest to the header and it is cherry red and glowing. I shut off the car and look under the hood. I notice that both outlets the run off the DPFE sensor melted off. I also noticed that it blew a hole in the hose that runs to the DPFE sensor. So I know I need a new hose. Cause everytime I start the car and give it some gas it blows the hose off that runs to that DPFE sensor and exahust fumes come puring outta that hose under the hood. What should i do from here....If anyone could give me some advice I would appreciate it..I'd like to go rescue my car from the muffler shop if I can... =p
